3-antique G.A.R. and WW1 badges and ribbons.
The first image shows the three vintage Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.) and veteran association badges and ribbons from Ohio.
Left side is a a black \"In Memoriam\" mourning ribbon for Keller Post No. 128 in Bucyrus, Ohio. Top bar is celluloid badge with gold frame. Has the eagle over flag over G.A.R. star. GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC is on both sides of the eagle. Features a black silk \"In Memoriam\" banner, silver-toned star emblem and fringe at the bottom. Dedicated to Union Civil War veterans of Keller Post No. 128 in Bucyrus, Ohio. Reverse side features red/white/blue ribbon / faded and showing age. Tag inside ID\'s as from M.C. Lilley Co. of Columbus, Ohio.
Middle: From WW1, an Ohio Rainbow Division Veterans Association ribbon from June 7–9, 1946. Red/yellow and blue with silver wreath, soldier profile and lettering. Top bar is missing insert. Most likely from an \"encampment\" (meeting - convention) held on those dates.
Right: Unusual 1898 G.A.R.Encampment badge from Mount Vernon Ohio. Features a top bar reading \"TREASURER\". Below that is silk red/white/blue ribbon with \"MT. VERNON\". Below that is an odd hard leather round badge with a five-pointed star medal (resembling G.A.R. style or local veteran organization insignia). Around star is DEPT OHIO 1898. There is some sort of yellowish tint/coloring in the star. I did not attempt to clean. Ribbon has slight tear at attachment to leather.
